Scientists are busy working in labs at art museums, and in this program, apprentices got a chance to go behind the scenes with one. Kids joined Marco Leona, scientist in charge at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and learned how to make dyes from dead bugs like the Maya and Aztec civilizations did. They also used the latest scientific techniques and technologies to identify dyes in artwork over 100 years old.
